  • Description:
    Climate change is one factor that has contributed to the changing landscape of vector-borne diseases. Shifts in weather and climate can impact the distribution and seasonality of disease vectors. This is particularly true for diseases caused by pathogens that are vectored by mosquitoes, which respond to changing temperature, weather, and precipitation patterns in ways that are complex and difficult to predict. While there are hundreds of species of mosquitoes, Culex and Aedes are two that include species with public health importance because they are known to carry many types of pathogens, including Zika, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, West Nile, Japanese Encephalitis and St. Louis Encephalitis viruses. 1,2 Local and state health departments have worked to prepare for and address mosquito-borne diseases; however, this is not often done in the context of a changing climate. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework is a 5 part process that enables health departments to develop strategies in combating the effects of climate change in their area. 3, 4 In this paper, BRACE steps 1–3 are applied to West Nile Virus (WNV) and its vectors, Culex spp mosquitoes. The impact of climate change on mosquito abundance and WNV risk are assessed, and the effectiveness of current public health interventions are investigated. There have been multiple reviews of mosquito control interventions, which have driven more sustainable and effective control of disease carrying vectors. This paper addresses the utility of such interventions in the context of an extreme flooding event, and how their effectiveness may change when implemented in these conditions.
